Coat of arms

Deutsch: Stadt Dülmen

English: City of Dülmen

Français : Ville de Dülmen

Blazon

Deutsch: „Das Stadtwappen zeigt auf gelbem Grund ein blaues Kleeblattkreuz.“ Das Wappen kam um die Jahrhundertwende vom 16. zum 17. Jahrhundert erstmals auf und wurde auf Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts in Dülmen geprägten Kupfermünzen verwendet. In das städtische Siegel nahm man das Wappenbild dann Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts auf. Wahrscheinlich entstammt das Kreuz dem Wappenschild des Stadtpatrons St. Viktor. Er ist auf einem Reitersiegel des Dülmener St.-Viktor-Stifts aus dem 14. Jahrhundert mit einem solchen Schild dargestellt.

English: „Or, a cross bottony azure.“

Dülmen received city rights in 1311 from the Bishop of Münster. The oldest seal is already known from 1312 and showed the patron saint of the city, St. Victor. The saint was used in the seals of the city until the late 18th century.

On coins and decorations throughout the city, a shield with the typical cross was used as arms. The cross was derived from the small shield held by St. Victor on the oldest seal. The arms also appear on the seals in the early 19th century and were officially granted in 1947.
